Honouring the Worst Movies of the Noughties - #5: National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004)

It's another comedy that didn't find its way into the critics' hearts - metascore 6

"In the world of gross-out teen comedy, "Gold Diggers" is less offensive than embarrassing, at least for the chagrined performers" - Sean Axmaker, Seattle Pi

"By the time a rattlesnake ends up attached to a neighbor's genitals in "Gold Diggers" -- or maybe when Lasser shackles a naked Owen to the bed and covers him in dessert toppings -- you'll be rooting for all the characters to find success in their attempted murders so the audience's pain can come to an end." - Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

"Some movies leave a bad taste in the mouth. This one causes full-on halitosis." - Jen Chaney, Washington Post
